[TRUMP ESCALATES THREATS OF VIOLENCE AND DICTATORSHIP

In the state where his far-right supporters plotted the assassination of the governor, Trump renewed his appeals to violence and denunciations of socialism. ]  From today's World Socialist Web Site.

              As a long time independent democratic socialist I can see no truth in smearing the right wing conservative Trump -the leader of a powerful sector of the American plutocracy - as another Hitler; and white working class Trump supporters as  white supremacist , neo-Nazi recruits.

              Since the 2016 presidential election  the Democratic Party has wallowed in illiberal liberalism , promoting the HATE RUSSIA , New McCarthyism , scorning the FREE SPEECH , FREE THOUGHT tradition of Western Civilization , winking at thuggish street violence and brainless vandalizing of historic monuments ( at most in need of editing plates )  , attacking religious liberty !

           " Liberal " Democrats have been slobbering over DEEP STATE institutions : the FBI , the CIA , Pentagon generals and admirals. Has Joe Biden set himself up as a foe of the notorious " military industrial complex " ?  As a foe of stupid and endless new wars in the Middle East , as a peace maker with nuclear armed Russia and China ?

             Irony of ironies President Donald Trump talks and acts like the proverbial LESSER EVIL of guilty conscience liberals .

            Trump is way off in seeing a SOCIALIST specter in the New Democratic Party .  It is more like a Stalinist revival ! SAD !
